When a corporation pays to manage a problem instead of fixing it, it’s reasonable to question if they actually think it’s a problem in the first place.
When I switched to Substack it was just a Mailchimp alternative (I don’t think Mailchimp moderates what they send out either). They were a service, not a platform. But since then Substack has added a lot of social elements. And now that I’ve been made aware of their stance, I’m planning my exit ASAP.
Sure, but that doesn’t let you off the hook for using them. You’re on a site that empowers people who want people like me dead. It’s hard to think you’re too concerned about my rights as a worker, when you’re not terribly interesting in defending my human rights
OP literally said they’re gonna stop using it, “now that they’ve been made aware of their stance.” Wtf more do you want? You want people to be omniscient? To know something before they know it? I don’t understand how you’re holding someone accountable for a lack of knowledge. That’s asinine.
We shouldn’t judge people for past decisons when new info comes out, especially when that new info makes them change. It will take some time for people to move and find a viable alternative.
I do not intend this to be an attack of any kind, please be more considerate of the fact that changes can’t be made instantly when you have an audience to move.
It’s hard to think the author’s concern is too genuine given that they’re publishing on Substack

I’m not sure whether I missed that or it was edited, but either way, I didn’t see it when I posted.
Mea culpa if I missed it
Ahh, that makes a lot more sense.
So you not understand what “I’m planning my exit ASAP” means?
